A Downtown Affair – October 21st 2011

Last week Mike and I were back in the studio for a nice “residents only” set. We shook the dust off some classics that haven’t gotten much play from us lately and debuted the Rim and Kasa edit off Red Greg’s amazing Under The Influence Volume 1 compilation. There are a limited number of vinyl pressings floating around, so don’t sleep! The set starts off a bit melancholy with Trevor Herion’s best Labyrinth-era-Bowie and slowly picks up with Mike digging out album cuts from Orlando Johnson, Rene & Angela and Leroy Hutson. Enjoy!

Love On The Run On A Downtown Affair

We coaxed Love On The Run back to the air for the first in-studio he’s played for us in a while. Always one to set a proper vibe, he graced us with a mix of disco and soul that he’s calling Analog Bedroom. He’s got a few events coming up, so be sure to check out Secret Rendezvous, but we definitely want to plug this Saturday’s union of Sharegroove and Love On The Run at Tandem.

Kamui on A Downtown Affair

Earthquakes and hurricanes have inflicted delays on the posting over here recently. Very pleased to be getting back on track with this guest mix from Kamui. You’ve heard him on the show a few times before and, as always, I have to say I really love these all 45 sets. Perfect sounds for closing out the summer. Keep an eye out for the next Chicken & Waffles + Hot Peas & Butta at Macri Park in Williamsburg on September 11th. Kamui’s been playing there every second Sunday alongside Skeme Richards, Wes and some very special guests.

Sunday Gospel [07]

This week’s gospel set centers on cuts from the late eighties. A bit of an acquired taste, but some bright moments shine through the dated production, cheap keyboards and emphatic vocal deliveries.
